Trivia
- Scolipede represents November in the Unova horoscope.
- Despite the Scolipede and Centiskorch evolutionary families living in different parts of the Galar region, both Venipede and Scolipede's Pokédex entries speak of their hostile relationship with the latter family.
Origin
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
Scolipede's species shows that it was inspired by the centipede, most likely the Scolopendra gigantea. It could also be based on Arthropleura, a prehistoric relative of centipedes that grew to two-and-a-half meters. Additionally, Scolipede has a little in common with millipedes, and may also draw inspiration from a red Archispirostreptus gigas, a species of millipede often kept as a pet.
Name origin
Scolipede is a combination of Scolopendra (genus of centipedes) and centipede or millipede. Skolo- is an Ancient Greek principle part meaning "pointed" or "impaling".
Pendror is derived from Scolopendra.
